Criticism fires up party: A letter to the editor

Re: "Distrust grows across political spectrum," Other Opinions, April 22.

With all due respect, Eugene Robinson does not get it. I support the tea party movement. I am a suburban mother of two, and the last time I looked was not a "gun nut, tax protester, devotee of the gold standard, Sarah Palin, insurance company lobbyists" supporter.

Let me let Mr. Robinson in on a little secret. I do not know why he continues to dismiss honest, hardworking citizens who contribute positively to this country and pay the majority of taxes. However, I hope he will keep it up. It is very helpful for the movement and galvanizes us even more.
